The first in a new series of better knowing the skaters that pledge their allegiance to the Master Company.

Report by M. Sinclair: Hello Ed, I met this kid at the Benicia Skatepark yesterday. He told me I had a nice board, I was riding a J-Lay. He told me he loves Toy Machine and this is his third Toy Machine board. He has only been skating for a very short amount of time. Anti-Hero just didn't work for him since he has been trying to jump down stairs but Toy Machine is much better for him. His first board was a grey Toy Machine with the eye ball, his second was the Trapasso Chief and Austin is his third. He says our boards are stronger and he can tell that Toy Machine is good quality. Just thought I would share some random 9th graders insight with you and on a side note Tony Hawk snubbed him a few months back.

i gots me a foundation :)
toy is still my favorite
i'm on the site right now

viva toy machine !!

in 11 years of skating, i never had a toy board, or toy shirt, i only like toymachine since i watched welcome to hell back in 1998,
since those days the toy machine-tempster skate style has been my influence. i dont have to buy toy boards to be a loyal pawn, thats my point, i have toy machine in my skater soul !!! inside of my bones.
